    After installing a new disc as hdd (slave on the second IDE-adapter),
    my CD-ROM won't work after Debian have booted. It works fine in BIOS
    and it boots fine from the CD as well, but trying to mount /dev/hdc
    after booting Debian fails. dmesg doesn't contain the words hdc at all,
    but if I remove the new disc and boots, everything works just fine. I'm
    running Debian Sarge with 2.6.8-kernel, and upon installing I had two
    discs on the primary IDE and only the CD-ROM as master on the secondary
    IDE.

    It seems like my Debian installation only accepts one unit on the
    secondary IDE... Any suggestions to what the error might be?
